Feeling like your skin has lost its glow in the heat and humidity? This sheet mask is a simple, refreshing treat designed to deliver a quick burst of brightness and hydration, helping to revive tired-looking skin.

If your skin feels dull or looks tired, this mask offers an instant pick-me-up. It's designed for those seeking a brighter, more radiant complexion without a heavy feel.

• Who it's for: Best suited for normal, combination, and oily skin types concerned with dullness.
• What it does: Provides a temporary brightening effect and a splash of hydration, leaving skin looking fresh and revitalized. (Ingredient Rationale)
• What to expect: A thin sheet mask soaked in a watery, citrus-scented essence. Skin feels cool, refreshed, and appears visibly brighter immediately after use.

Use this mask 1-2 times per week in the evening for a radiance boost.

1. Cleanse: Start with a clean face to ensure the essence absorbs well.
2. THIS MASK: Apply the sheet mask and relax for 10-15 minutes.
3. Moisturise: After removing the mask, pat the remaining essence into the skin and follow with your favorite moisturiser to seal in the hydration.

Note: Already own a similar brightening serum? Use this mask on a different night to avoid overdoing it. Mindful consumption is key.

Frequency: 1-2 times per week, or whenever your skin needs a refreshing boost.

• Step 1: Prep Skin. After cleansing your face, apply toner to balance your skin's pH.
• Step 2: Apply Mask. Carefully unfold the mask and place it onto your face, aligning it with your eyes, nose, and mouth.
• Step 3: Relax. Leave the mask on for 10-15 minutes. This is a great time to relax. For an extra cooling treat in Mauritius, store the mask in the fridge for 10 minutes before use.
• Step 4: Absorb. Remove the mask and gently pat the remaining essence into your face and neck until fully absorbed. Do not rinse it off.
• Step 5: Seal. Follow up with your regular moisturiser to lock in all the benefits.

Think of this mask as a weekly treatment, not a daily step. It fits easily into any routine.

• Example Week (PM Focus): Mon Soothing Night · Tue Exfoliant · Wed THIS MASK · Thu Soothing Night · Fri Retinoid · Sat Soothing Night · Sun THIS MASK
• Rule: Use on a night when you are not using other strong exfoliants or retinoids to give your skin a dedicated moment of brightening and hydration.

• Immediately: Skin feels cool, hydrated, and refreshed. You will likely notice an instant, temporary brightening effect and a dewy glow.
• After 2-4 Weeks (using 1-2 times per week): With consistent use alongside daily sunscreen, this mask can contribute to a more radiant and less dull-looking complexion.
• After 8+ Weeks: This mask is a supplementary product. For significant, long-term improvement in hyperpigmentation, consistent use of a targeted daily serum (like Vitamin C or Niacinamide) and daily SPF 30+ is necessary.

Why use THIS MASK, not pure lemon juice?

Some DIY advice suggests using pure lemon juice to lighten dark spots. This is a dangerous myth. Raw lemon juice is highly acidic (pH ~2) and can cause chemical burns, irritation, and disrupt your skin's protective barrier. Worse, when exposed to sunlight, it can cause a severe reaction called phytophotodermatitis, leading to painful blisters and even worse hyperpigmentation.

This mask uses a safe, cosmetic-grade Lemon Extract in a balanced formula with hydrating and soothing ingredients. It delivers the brightening potential associated with lemon without the risks of raw juice, making it a much safer and more effective choice. (Ingredient Rationale)

• Oily / Combination Skin: Excellent. The watery essence provides hydration without feeling heavy or greasy.
• Normal Skin: Very good. Provides a nice boost of radiance and hydration.
• Dry Skin: Good, but ensure you follow up with a nourishing moisturiser as the essence is very light.
• Sensitive Skin: Use with caution. This product contains Alcohol Denat. and added Fragrance, which can be irritating for some. A patch test is strongly recommended.

• Primary: Dullness, Lack of Radiance
• Secondary: Dehydrated Skin, Minor Uneven Skin Tone

• Official Korean Name: 더페이스샵 리얼 네이처 마스크 시트 레몬 (Deo-pe-i-seu-syap Ri-eol Ne-i-cheo Ma-seu-keu Si-teu Re-mon)
• Country of Manufacture: South Korea
• Brand: THE FACE SHOP, part of LG Household & Health Care.
• Date Marks Explained: Korean products often print the manufacturing date (제조) instead of the expiry date. Unopened, this mask is typically good for 24-30 months from the manufacturing date. Use immediately after opening the sachet.

• Halal Status: Not Halal-friendly. This product contains Alcohol Denat., a simple alcohol that is not permissible for topical use according to most Halal standards.
• Vegan Status: Vegan-Friendly*. A review of the ingredient list does not show any obvious animal-derived components.
• Animal Testing Policy: The Face Shop is not certified cruelty-free. The brand retails in mainland China, where post-market animal testing may be required by law in certain cases.

• Humid Summers: The lightweight, watery essence provides a refreshing burst of hydration without feeling heavy or sticky. Storing it in the refrigerator before use provides an exceptional cooling sensation after a hot day.
• Drier Winters: While still refreshing, the light hydration may not be sufficient for very dry skin. Be sure to layer a more substantial moisturiser on top to lock in the benefits.

At Adilsons, we are committed to providing you with authentic, high-quality K-beauty products. Our curation philosophy is rooted in truthfulness and consumer protection. We source directly from official distributors and offer transparent, evidence-based information to help you make mindful choices for your skin. Your trust and skin health are our top priorities.

Q: Will this mask make my skin lighter?
A: No. The "brightening" effect refers to improving radiance and helping dark spots fade for a more even tone. It will not change your natural skin colour.

Q: Can I use the leftover essence in the packet later?
A: Yes! You can seal the packet and use the remaining essence the next day as a serum for your face, neck, and hands. Use it within 24 hours for freshness.

Q: Why does this contain Alcohol Denat.? Is it bad for my skin?
A: Alcohol Denat. is often used in sheet masks to make the essence feel lighter and absorb faster. For oily and combination skin, it's usually not a problem. However, for those with dry or sensitive skin, it can be drying or irritating. We recommend a patch test.

Q: Is this mask suitable for acne-prone skin?
A: It can be. The formula is lightweight and contains Niacinamide, which is beneficial for acne. However, both the added fragrance and alcohol could be potential triggers for some individuals. If your acne is linked to sensitivity, a simpler, fragrance-free mask might be a better choice.

Best For: Those with normal to oily skin looking for an affordable, quick, and refreshing treatment to boost radiance before an event or as a weekly pick-me-up.
